Be it known that I, FRANK F. CORNELL, a. citizen of 'the United States of America, residing in New York, in the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New lYork, have invented certain new and useful. linprovenients in .Paper Boxes for Paeking Paints and #theirrieies of which the following speeieation- Y packed in and replen ring steek.

feature of novelty of my improved paper box or package. As shown, the lower and side ed es of the label register with the correspon ing edges of the flap alo. This arrangement facilitates the placing of the labels in correct position on the iap to register properly withthe window 0, since the edges of the lap form a convenient marking to indicate where the label is to go and a convenient edge on which to rest the fingers to form a stop against which to place the label.

By making the color of the label correspond with the color, tint or shade of the paint or other materialA and putting the name, designation or number in a suitable contrasting color on the colored background,

the contents of the paper box can be quickly read off and determined; but it is obvious that any label which indicates the color, designation or number of the contents can be used, the designation of the contents being printed, Written, stamped or otherwise applied to the turned-in front-flap of the top-portion of the box.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and. desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A paper box havin@ a hinged cover, a flap at the front-edge of: said cover, a label applied to said flap, the front-wall of said box being provided with a window which registers with and forms a frame and protection for said label when said box is closed.

2. A paper box having a hinged cover, a iiap at the front-edge of said cover, a label attached to said flap and having its lower and side edges registering with the corresponding edges of said iap,the front-wall of the box being provided with a window arranged to register withand .form a frame and protection for said label through which the label is visible When the box is closed.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

FRANK E. CORNELL.
